Hound trespass bill
 

Houndmen have bent over backwards to appease the anti hound group,99% of the hunter's have GPS systems to make sure our hounds do not get into trouble with highways and the occasional landowner that does not work the hounds on their property, we as taxpayers have did our due diligence to enjoy our sport, the anti hound group have not done everything thing they could do to keep their properties free of unwanted hounds, all they need to do is put up fence, instead of putting all the weight on a bunch of poor country folk's, at a time when inflation is killing the working class now this legislation only amounts to Taxation without representation, small business will be negatively affected if these measures are made law, dog food companies, gas stations, restaurants, farm supply stores, and many more small businesses will be hurt, some possibilities of closing business and loss of many jobs, as well of many citizens who will probably stop buying hunting licenses
